Video: Dog Is Dead - River Jordan

If you're a Skins (UK series) fan you may recognise the song in the video above for 'River Jordan' by Dog is Dead , it was recently featured in the last Skins series. The erratic yet polished video fits the song perfectly; sitting somewhere between indie, pop and math rock I am loving both the video and song. I could see the 5 piece Nottingham based band following in the footsteps of Foals or even Vampire Weekend. 'River Jordan' was released as part of a singles trilogy; the other songs are 'Glockenspiel Song’ and 'Young'. [...]

The Dog Is Dead kids recently dropped this new single for "River Jordan". Big sound. Big fills-the-room sort of sound. We're feeling the variety of ideas and influences on the record. This sucker is jam packed and chock full. We hear everything from modern indie rock (Fleet Foxes) to classic rock (Queen) to gospel (check those huge harmonies). Psyched to hear what's next.
